Tropical Rainforests are found near the equator and around it.
Climate
Tropical rainforests have a lot of rainfall (from 2 to 9 meters) and is moderately hot (from 25 to 30 degrees celcius but rarely reaches more than 30 degrees celcius).The climate in rainforests is pretty much one or two words- wet, you could say mostly or even sometimes hot although temperatures in rainforests rarely go up higher than 35 degrees celcius and hangs around at about 25 to 30 degrees celcius. The temperature has never dropped below 18 degrees celcius. Which means that hot is not really true. But it is warm and sunny (but not as deadly as deserts). Rainforests are also humid all year round. There is no winter, there is no summer, there is no fall, there is no spring, but there is a wet wet season where it rains everyday and it runs all year round too. An average rainforest recieves more than 250 centimetres of rainfall each year.
layers of the rain forest
The emergent larger is the top layer storms and highwind lash at the these tops.The canopy is the second layer but you can see alot.The under story has lots of leafy bushes and the trees are small.The forest floor is where lots of animals live like the clouded leopard, pink ibes and the capybara. Also many other awesome animals live there too! The emergent layer, which is the highest layer, the canopy layer, which is where most trees' leaves show up, the under story, which is mostly wood and animals and the forest floor which is the lowest layer.
Threats
Sadly, many people think that rainforests are worth only wood and money. Some poor countries have rainforests with many trees, so for money, they burn the trees to get the logs and sell them. The animals then lose their homes and the ones that get caught, get killed for their skin and their meat. Because rainforests have lots of rainfall, cutting the trees down will make a sudden ''go-down'' which might cause a drought. This is because the disruption of the water cycle when trees store water, and it evaporates and it rains. But in this case the trees store water, they get cut down, the water absorbs into the water, and it causes a drought because there is no water to be evaporated. Also, because rainforest is fully cleared, the water can't get to any trees because they are all gone. When the forest is burned, global warming increases because when fire burns, it releases tons of carbon dioxide into the air and the trees aren't there to suck in the carbon dioxide (secondly, so much carbon dioxide is released that the trees can't really catch it all) so the carbon dioxide absorbs into the air and results as global warming. Also, if you cut down the trees, many species of animals and plants that don't live anywhere but rainforests will become endangered and maybe even someday extinct. So how then, would our children or their children actually experience being able to see them alive and not in a picture? There are many problems that the rainforest biome encounters. One of the biggest problems is that people that live in rainforest cut down the trees to make moneyandhouses. Some animals that live in trees can die because of the people that cut down the trees. Sometimes they set the rainforest on fire and that's more dangerous. The ratethat lumberjacks are moving, each hour of the day 1,000 to 3,000
Action
Luckily, there are many NGOs that help save rainforests such as WWF, Conservation International and Rainforest Alliance. They help by claiming land and putting down reserves where nobody can damage the environment. Then the animals can live happily. They also encourage people to make a difference for the rainforests. You can help too.
Animals
The Jaguar is the largest cat in the world. It lives in the Amazon Rainforest of South America.Macaws are beautiful birds one of the macaws feathers are gold,blue and a little green. and some are light blue,dark blue,green and red. The Capybara it a large rodent they can swim.The anaconda is the longest snake in the world and it is green with black spots.
